I woke up to the feeling of my cheeks pressed up against a hard chest with the smell of men's cologne invading my nostrils and I quickly shot my eyes open. I blinked and tilted my head upwards, almost shrieking when I saw how close his cute sleeping face was to mine.

How the hell did he end up there? Didn't we fall asleep with his head over my chest?

Blake's warm muscular arms were wrapped around my waist and he had my body pulled close to his in a really tight but comfortable hold.

Now that I was looking up at him, our noses were almost touching. I looked down for a second and shifted in my place so I could be facing him directly with a little space between us and I instantly felt him tighten his hold around my waist in his sleep.

I smiled and watched as he breathed evenly through his slightly parted lips.

I kissed those lips last nigh-

Wait... holy cow.

Last night.

"Be mine?"

Oh my god.

That actually happened, right?

Brain: No, you just sleepwalked to his room in the middle of the night like the creep you are and snuck under his sheets- Fucking dumbass, of course it was real.

OK, it was real. Really real.

I said yes.

Right?

Yeah, I said yes.

I think.

And he kissed me again afterward.

Holy shizlet...

I'm his??

What the frick does that even mean.

He's mine?

I freaking hope so.

Does that mean...

Oh my god, it does.

It freaking does.

Blake Evans is my...

Nah.

Is he?

Brain: I'm so done.

I looked up at the gorgeous boy in front of me and stared like a creep.

Blake asked me to be his. The same Blake who teased the living hell out of me last year. The same Blake who calls me Muffin to piss the crap out of me. The same Blake who I grew to like A LOT over the past few months. The same Blake who kissed me. Four times.

I eyed the fallen locks over his eyes and the bridge of his nose and subconsciously, my fingers found their way over his forehead, brushing the locks away. I've always wanted to do that after waking up next to him.

My heart dropped when I saw a sleepy smile appear on his face while I was running my fingers through his hair, his eyes were still closed.

"Morning Muffin," His voice was husky and raspy from just waking up and it made my ovaries go freaking crazy.

"Morning," I shyly said back and felt my heart twerk when he opened his eyes and looked at me.

His smile didn't drop as he gazed at me intensely and happily. He looked into my eyes for a few more seconds before I suddenly felt myself get rolled over with my back against the bed and Blake on top of me.

He leaned down and softly kissed the tip of my nose, avoiding my mouth because of morning breath. I almost giggled at that- I don't know why him kissing or brushing his nose against mine always made me chuckle. I love it.

I lifted my head to kiss his nose back and he slightly leaned down, ducking his head so I could land a small peck on his straight nose.

He chuckled adorably after feeling my lips on his nose and pulled back to look at me again, his smile was so wide, I just knew his cheeks would hurt later because of it.

My lips tugged upward even more and he kissed my cheek, "I need to check on Cole, just to make sure he's alright, wanna come with?" He whispered.

I nodded my head almost sleepily and he kissed my other cheek before standing up. "Wait- I gotta brush my teeth first," he told me and I nodded my head.

"Same," I stood up and he nodded his head, his happy expression was still plastered on his face. He walked over to his ensuite bathroom with his back turned to me and was about to turn the doorknob before he paused.

"Holy fuck," I heard him curse under his breath.

I didn't have time to even question it before he turned his body around quickly with an even happier expression and I found myself on the ground with his body over mine, hugging the life out of me in a blink of an eye.

What the...

I automatically wrapped my arms back around him as I struggled to breathe and he squeezed me even harder. I was so confused.

"You said yes," He whispered into my ears a few seconds later. Oh.

He looked me in the eyes and I couldn't help but laugh at how cute he looked. I nodded my head, still laughing "I said yes,"

He hugged me and didn't let me go until I tapped his shoulder, silently telling him I was dying. He let me go reluctantly and helped me up. "Sorry," He was still smiling like an idiot.

I just shook my head and began to walk towards the door, knowing his gaze was on me. I left the room with what felt like melted organs and quickly scurried to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

Once I was done, I walked out of the bathroom the same second Blake paused to wait for me. He looked down at my hand, grabbed it, and led me towards Cole's room.

The door was closed so Blake slowly turned the doorknob and carefully creaked the door open, peeking a look inside before me so he could make sure it was appropriate for me to enter... wouldn't wanna walk in on Cole naked now, would we?

He opened the door even more and nodded approvingly. He brushed his thumb over my hand, which was still in his hold, and led me inside the room.

We slowly walked to where Cole was lying on his bed like a pair of creepy stalkers and I almost awwed when my eyes caught the sight of Cole. He was hugging onto a pillow with a cheek of his pressed against it and his messy blond bed hair was all over the place, covering his forehead and eyebrows.

Blake bent down next to Cole's peaceful sleeping figure and placed the back of his hand over his forehead, checking his temperature. I looked at him, waiting for a reaction or something, and sighed in relief when I saw him look up at me and mouth "His temperature's fine,"

We looked down at his face again and I noticed that it wasn't pale anymore, it was normal and he looked perfectly fine.

Blake then looked up at me and nodded his head towards the door, standing up, "Come on, let's make breakfast," He spoke in a soft whisper.

I nodded my head and internally died again when he interlocked our fingers once again, kissed my hand, and began to walk out of the room with me following him.

I closed the door carefully behind us and we made our way to the kitchen. I paused when we were at the doorway and cursed- if "crap" is considered a curse.

"What?" Blake turned to me. "What's wrong?"

I threw my head back, "What time is it?"

He checked the time on his phone, "Seven fifty-five,"

I sighed, "School," I almost whined.

Blake chuckled. "I completely forgot. I don't have any classes until ten so it's alright; I'll make breakfast while you go get ready and start the class." He grabbed my shoulders and turned me around to face the doorway.

I whined and he stepped closer to me, his hands still on my shoulders. He kissed my cheek from behind, "Enjoy..." he teased in my ear.

I groaned and he began moving me away from the kitchen, "Are you kicking me out of the kitchen?"

"Yep, that's exactly what I'm doing, Leprotto, now move your ass before Bob kicks it,"

"You mean Rob?"

"He's the dude who Cole calls a wet ballsack?"

"Yeah,"

"Then yeah, I mean Rob."

"I don't even have a chemi-"

"Shoo, Muffin," He gently nudged me forward and I groaned again before beginning to walk towards the room.

I held back a pout; I really wanted to spend time with him.

I got ready for my class, closed my room door, and sat down at my desk. I opened my laptop with a grunt and clicked on my zoom lesson, turning my camera on.

Ten minutes later, I heard a knock come from my door and I clicked on the touchpad to turn my camera off. "Yes?"

"Can I come in?".

"Yeah," I said and he opened the door, revealing his gorgeous smiling face. He was holding a tray that had apple juice, a plate of scrambled eggs, toast, peanut butter, jam, and chopped vegetables like cucumber, avocadoes, and olives.

My stomach grumbled at the sight of the delicious-looking food and my mouth almost watered as I stared at him, he was walking towards me. I noticed how his shirt was no longer covering his chest.

"Thank you. What happened to your shirt?"

"Got hot cooking the eggs," He shrugged and placed the tray over my desk. I looked up at him and shivered when I saw him rest his hand over my desk while he hovered over me.

He brought his face closer to mine and I could feel his hot breath wash over my face. His breath smelt like raspberries... I'm guessing he just had finished eating some.

He leaned down even more until our noses touched, I stopped breathing for a second, and my heart rate accelerated as he stared intensely at my face while I was looking up at him.

He suddenly broke out into a grin, nuzzled his nose against mine, and pulled back. "Get back to class, Leprotto,"

He turned around and began walking out. I couldn't help but stare at his muscular back as he made his way to the door. My eyes traveled downwards for a split second before I quickly looked back up, embarrassed. He had a nice butt.

Blake turned around, flashing me a smirk before closing the door on his way out. He definitely knew I was checking him out.

I turned around and looked back at the laptop with a racing heart. I shook my head to get a grip and moved my fingers to the touchpad so I could turn my camera back on. My heart stopped when I saw the camera icon at the corner of the screen without the little red line.

My camera was on the entire time.

♛

After finishing my fifth period, I didn't have time to even close my laptop for my ten-minute break before my phone started blowing up.

I gulped and held in my breath as I stared at my phone on my desk. A huge part of me was already assuming where all the notifications were coming from.

I didn't realize my body was shaking until my dumb self moved my hand to grab the phone, noticing how my hand looked like it was having a seizure on its own.

I looked down at the phone and my heart stopped again when I saw that every single notification was similar to the ones I received yesterday... "@** commented on a post you're tagged in"

I felt tears prick my eyes as I noticed how they were all following one notification.

@ODxIsxAxWhore tagged you in a post.

I quickly put the phone away with shaky hands as my heart shattered into pieces for the second time. I could feel the panic rise through my chest as my breathing hitched and tears were on the verge of spilling.

The panic kept rising until I suddenly heard my phone begin ringing and I looked down at the desk. Huda was calling me on Facetime.

I took a shaky deep breath before nibbling on my bottom lip. Without thinking, I grabbed the phone and slid my thumb across the screen, answering the call.

"LIVI-POOOH!" My ears were immediately hit by my best friend's booming voice as I stared at her face.

"Hey," I surprisingly didn't sound like I was on the verge of tears.

"You little chunk of toes!" She cursed, "I missed you so much, you didn't call me back yesterday. I called you once and you didn't answer. I was gonna call you a second time but thought you were probably busy getting it on with Blake or something and I didn't wanna cockblock..."

My eyes widened. "What?"

I don't remember telling her about our kiss.

"What what? Wait, were you actually-"

"No!" I exclaimed way too quickly.

"What do you mean n- OH WAIT. I get it!" She said.

"What?"

"You were doing the dirty with Charcoal instead." She teased.

"NO!" I exclaimed again but with a louder voice this time.

Huda started laughing like an idiot the same second my ears caught the sound of running footsteps. Before I knew it, my door burst open and Blake stood there with a worried face. "What's wrong?"

I turned to Blake and shook my head, "Nothing, just talking to Huda." I didn't realize I was that loud...

Blake took a breath of relief and stared at me before Cole came rushing in too. "What happened?" He asked worriedly.

Blake turned to him and shook his head, "Nothing, she's just talking to Huda."

Cole's concerned expression was replaced with his usual cheery expression and he glanced over my shoulder and to my phone's screen. "Hey Hudson!"

"CHARCOAL! YOU PIECE OF-"

Her voice was blocked from my ears when I made eye contact with Blake again. His expression still seemed a bit off but it was somehow soft at the same time. I gave him a soft assuring smile and he smiled back. His genuine non-cocky smile was so adorable.

I was brought back from my daze when I heard Mrs. Martin's voice come from the phone behind me, "Cole, dear! How are you?"

"Mrs. Martin! Hey, I'm doin' alright. How's Malik?"

Malik as in Huda's little brother?

I'm so confused.

I watched as Cole, Mrs. Martin, and Huda exchanged a few words before Mrs. Martin had to go and Cole needed to use the bathroom. He didn't leave before dropping a stupid remark on Huda, of course. He looked so cute when he was annoying.

Blake said a quick hey to Huda, flashed me another smile and left to attend his class. I looked back at my screen with an almost happy expression and my heart warmed, even more, when I saw Huda's big smile. God, I missed her so much.

"You kissed Blake," Her smile grew even wider as she said that.

My eyes widened and I froze. How the hell did she figure that out?

"Spill, you little shit," Why was she so happy?

"I..." I don't even know what to tell her.

"Let's start with when," She said, leaning back in her seat. Her smile didn't drop for even a second.

"The night of..." I shuddered thinking of it, "the uh, the anniversary- Well, actually after midnight."

Huda screeched and sat up quickly, "WHAT?"

"What?"

"I didn't expect it to be that long ago!" She squealed then frowned, "You didn't tell me..."

I felt suddenly guilty because of that. "I'm sor-"

"Shut up. You're not obligated to tell me all about something private like that. I'm glad you took your time... BUT DAMNNNN! Did you fu-"

"NO!" I exclaimed for the millionth time in the past few minutes.

She grinned, "I'm kidding." She said softly before asking, "How was it afterward? Was it awkward? Did you kiss again? Oh my god LIVS! ARE YOU SERIOUS? You guys LIVE TOGETHER! I love this! Please tell me more. Please. please-"

I chuckled, "Okay, okay, calm down."

"Sorry, it's just that I finished every single Rom-Com on Netflix and I've been craving for any juicy story and now you're blessing me with THIS? DO YOU REALIZE HOW LONG WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS LIVS?"

I dropped my smile and stared at her with a confused facial expression, "We?"

She beamed, "Yeah! Cole and I- Wait did you tell him?"

Cole and Huda were expecting that?

They were waiting for it to happen?

My eyes widened. I just realized that we never really got to tell Cole.

I shook my head to answer her question, "No, we still haven't told him yet."

She grinned wider and flopped down onto her bed, "Okay, I'll stop asking questions now. Just simply... spill."

She got herself comfortable on her bed and I sat down on my own before sighing and telling her everything. Including Blake asking me to be his last night. I didn't mention his attack though; it wasn't my place to say anything.

Huda kept letting out screams, squeals, and shrieks as she jumped every five seconds. I swear it was like listening to my love life was equivalent to watching some romantic movie to her.

We kept talking and cackling for an hour or even more, totally ignoring the last periods and ditching our last two classes.

I smiled and thanked God that Huda decided to call me coincidentally the same minute my phone was bombarded with notifications.

Huda clearly lacked some sleep because eventually, the phone fell on her stomach the second her eyes shut. I smiled again and ended the call, at the same moment the boys called me for lunch.

I sat up on the bed and made a move to hop off of it to head to the kitchen but stopped when my eyes caught the sight of the mirror in front of me.

My whole body shuddered at my reflection. God, I hated how I looked.

I stared at my cheeks and immediately brought the two front locks closer to the edge and slowly stood up, looking down at my body.

I hate-

My thoughts were cut off when I heard a knock on my door. I stared at it and was about to call out for the person to come in before it opened anyway, revealing Blake's soft face.

"Chop, Chop... Lunch, Muffin." He clapped his hands to get me moving,

I thought back to how I looked in the mirror and remembered the decision I made yesterday about my intake of food.

"I'm not really hungry," I was hella freaking hungry.

It's okay. A little voice in me said. It'll all be worth it when I become skinny like Huda, Tina, and most of the other girls in my school.

Blake shot up his eyebrows before squinting his eyes. "What?"

"I don't wanna eat," I said, hoping I sounded convincing.

Blake cocked his head to the side cutely and looked at me, "You haven't eaten anything since the breakfast I made nine hours ago. Move your cute ass to the kitchen before I do it myself. Now."

I shook my head, "I'm really not hungry Blake..." I suddenly found myself flying in the air and thrown over his shoulder, my head hanging upside down, facing his butt. His really nice butt.

I slapped his back, "Let me down." I quickly said as he began walking towards the kitchen.

He readjusted me over his shoulder and tapped my thigh. "Nope. I made Risotto and Focaccia bread!"

I wiggled over his shoulder while he exited the room, "Blake I'm not hungry! I'll eat later. let. me. down." I said in between every slap on his toned back. I could feel the muscles underneath my palms, the only thing in between my hands and his hard back was the thin material of his dark grey shirt.

"Does your stomach hurt?" He suddenly stopped in the middle of the hallway.

"No?"

"Then you won't die of constipation or diarrhea if you eat. It's never bad to fill your tummy Livi," He continued taking steps towards the kitchen.

"But why would I eat if I'm not hungr-" I stopped when my nose was hit with the most mouthwatering and delicious scent.

Blake tapped my thigh again before setting me down in a swift motion and pulling out a stool from the kitchen island for me.

"Hey Oliver," I didn't even notice Cole's back was facing us as he poured some OJ into three glasses.

"Hey," I grumbled, still not over how Blake threw me over his shoulder a minute ago.

"Drop the face, Muffin, or I'll pull the same shit I pulled last time you refused to," Blake whispered in my ear. How did he even get behind me?

My eyes widened as I thought back to how he almost tickled me to death that day.

He also kissed me.

I think the same thought crossed Blake's mind because he winked at me when he caught me blushing and sat down on one of the stools, gesturing for me to sit down too. He was giving me a warning look.

God damn it.
